Burke Cockran, congressman from ‘New Work, bitterly opposed the in- come tax in debate but voted for the passage of the bill. The McKinley tax on a farm wag -m is $15, on a reaper $75, on smower $20. Some men in Mr. Mc- ‘Kinley’s shoes would be afraid to look an American farmer in the face. —Ex. Valliant, the anarchist who threw the:bomb in the French chamber of eputies a short time ago, was put ‘to deatta Monday. The swift retri bution meted out to this vicious aaa murderous scoundrel by the ‘French authorities is in marked con- rast to the criminal laws of this country. J. Scott Harrison, surveyor of the port of Kansas City, has returned from Washington City. He is of the -Spinion that he will be allowed to serve out his term without confer- mation. While in Washington he ‘did not call on the president of sen- »atore from this atate, but spent most of his time at the treasury depart- ment. ‘The governor of Michigan has re «quested the resignation of the state “treasurer, secretary of state and land <ommissioner. It is proven that these officers falsified the returns of he last election on the vote of a onstitutional amendment increas iiag the salaries of the state officers. The governor gave them until Tues vday to hand in theirresignation. The sugar trust, which 1s appeal- ing to congress that it will be ruined af the duty be removed from refined Sugar, made as a consequence of “éhe duty, a profit of 7 per cent <on one eort and 12 percent on sanother, which is equivalent to 25 or 30 per cent on the actual in vestment. This isa good gain fora ypanic period and the 65,000,000 peo ple in the country were heavily as eased to contribute it—Globe Dem- ~Srat. “Shofily after the great Democrat- ic victory in November, 1892, the St Louis Globe Democrat acknowledg- ed the corn in the following manner: ~The Republican party was beaten * “because it had taken a wrong posi ¥ tioron some of the leading ques- XsEons of national concern. It was wrong on the federal election matter; 3% was emphatically and fatally ~wrong on the tariff. The passage ef the McKinley law in 1890 was the greatest blunder committed by any party since the Democratic crime of ssecession. This thing called McKin- ‘leyism—this advancing of duties on PLEDGES DEEMED. | The democratic House magnili | cently redeemed its pledges to the peopie and did it expeditiously. No question of National importauce «ver before Congress received so splendid a majority. The house has done its | work well and deserves the commen- dation of the people. The Senate will also pass the Wilson bill prac- tically as it comes from the house. It may be weeks, and possibly will sage. its pledges to the people? The tanff is and has been for years the wain issue between the two great parties and it is now certain the people are gving to win against the plutocrats. The cost of living to the poor man will be reduced and by the income feature the wealthy class of the country will be made to bear its share of the burdens. The income tax is just and right. It makes those who have accumulated wealth pay for the protection the government affords their property. The. wealth has never borne its share of the burdens of government and for that reason great dissatis faction exists among the laboring elasses. This will all be changed by a democratic Congress and the wealthy class wil! be made to bear its proportionate part of the burdens. The Senate will discuss this bill dispassionately. Its opponents will be given ample time to discuss it fully There will be no effort to re strict legitimate debate, but no fili bustering will be tolerated. The bill will pass and be signed by a democratic president, and the great masses of people will rejoice that ig they confided their trust into demo cratic hands. By correspondence the Globe- Democrat has been investigating religious matters in the states of Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Texas and Arkansas. The report covers 177 counties in the above states, and in cludes only revival work since Sep tember. The report shows that there has been nearly fifty-four thousand conversions, and forty-nine thousand additions to the churches. We clip the following paragrapk: “The results of this inquiry are printed herewith, and although 1 ot as complete as was desired, owing to the inability of a great many cvrre spondents to get reports from the country districte, the unwillingness of some of the ministers to furrish information and other causes, the object is nevertheless fully attained in the interesting reports which follow. These show that in 177 counties of the States named there have been during the past tive months 53,991 conversions and 49, 010 accessions to the churches. Of the total, sixty-one counties of Mis souri report 20,216 conversions and 17,071 additions to the churches; fifty one counties in Illinois, 15,852 conversions and 14,247 additions; thirty two counties in Kansas, 8,574 conversions 8,227 additions; twenty three counties in Texas, 7,100 con versions and 7,345 additions; ten counties in Arkansas, 2,249 conver sions and 2,120 additions. The aver age per county, it will be noticed, is in the neighborhood of 300 in all of the States.” Of the above number of conver sions Bates county is credited with 184. The showing made by the various denominations as figured out resulted as follows for Missouri: Methodist, 6,844; Baptist, 3,615; Christians, 3,483; Presbyterian, 1107; miscellaneous, 402; unclassified, 1,- 621.

President Cleveland Sends tneiz Names to the Senate Senator Cockrell Tells of His In- terview With Cleveland. | DIDN 1 RECOMMEND WALKER {Great Satisfaction Over the Nomina- tion of General Shelby. { The Kansas City Times Barean, 1412G Street Washington, D. ¢ | Among the nominations sent to the senate to-day were the following: Joseph O. Sheiby, marshal Western district of Missouri. John R. Walker, United States at- torney, Western district of Missouri. Simpson S. Reynolds, receiver Wa- keeney, Kan., land office. Moses R. Degraff, receiver Spring- | field, Mo., land office. More than one wily politician over- reached himself in the extraordinary contest which resulted in the nominations of the two gen- tlemen first named. It may sur- prise many Missourians to learn that Mr. Dockery and ex-Governor Fran- cis, not Senator Cockrell, are really responsible for the nomination of John R. Walker. ‘These gentlemen were actuated by entirely different motives, but they unwittingly work- ed to the same end. It is believed here that the ex-gov- ernor, under the guise of a peace- maker, actually wanted to put Sena- tor Cockrell inthe position of solicit- ing the appointment of his brother- in-law, that he deceived the president into believing that Walker's appoint- ment was the one thing needed to eonciliate Cockrell, and that the con- ciliation would be complete. Positive statements from Senator Cockrell ex- piain how much he had to do with the appointment, and how far wrong Francis was. It also develops that in his desire to aid his. candidate, Mr. G. Y. Cran- shaw, M-. Docke.y really gave Mr. Walker his greatest boom. One week ago last Friday Senator Cockrell, by request of the presiden‘, called upon Mr. Cleveland. In ihat interview the name of Walke, it now appea:s, was not mentioned. Four days later Mr. Dockery ca!ied on Mr. Cleveland. He had figured out the very simple meth- od of studying his geography that Walker's appointment meant the probable defeat of Shelby and the nomination of Cranshaw. He toid the president that nothing would so please Senaior Cockrell as the ap- pointment of Walker and the naturai inference is, led the president to be- lieve such action would conciliate the senator. Mr. Cleveland, evident- ly, acting upon the same principle as in the appoiniment of Mr. Webster Withers—io appoint men who were the personal friends and always the warm supporters of the Missouri sen- ators named Mr. Walker. It is universally admitted that She!by’s appointment will be a popu- lar one in Missouri. Hisindorsement included the leading representatives of every paviy faction and of both political parties. Fede al and confed- erate soldiers alike indo~ced him, and he had the support of nine of the thirteen democ-atic members of the Missovzi delezation, and p:ominent among these was Cobb of Si. Lovis, allof whose indo. sements to date have been favo ably acted upon. Then, too, Geneial Suelby had the Kansas City indo-sements of the men who secu.ed the appointment of Web Withers. Governor Francis recog- nized the almost certainiy of Shel- by’s appointment, and in his confer- ence with the piesident urged that his name be agieed upon. Generai Shelby caine to Washington some weeks ago prepared to remain untii the fight had ended. He was the first man to enter the marshalship contest and began his campaign more than thirteen months ago. The personal charges agaiust him were made long ago, and he came to Washington pre- pared with affidavits refuting every charge brought against him. In his support he enlisted many of the southern senators who had known him during the war, but they were not more enthusiastic in -his behalf than certain republican congressmen who had led federal forces. WHAT COCKRELL DID. The following letter, received by Mr. Wiley F. Cox of this city, yester- day. “om Senator Cockreil, effect- ual’ isproves the story ihat he tre..ed wi h the president for the ap- pointment of John R. Walker as United States district attorney: Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.—My Dear Mr. Cox: The correspondents are at work about a supposed recon- ciliation with the president. There has been no reconciliation with the president. There has been no recon- ciliation, and no cause to require reconciliation. The president exer- cises his clear constitutional right in appointing who he pleases, and to seek his info,mation and adviee from whom he chooses, and it seems to be clear that he desired none from me. I could not volunteer or force my advice uponhim. I left him free todoashe pleased. When he sent for me as a matter of course I re- sponded. When he began inquring about applicants for United States marshal in Western district Missouri I told him frank!y and fully my posi- tion and my reasons for it, and that I would not make any recommenda- tions of any one for any office, but would freely give him any informe- tion I had about anyone. “Our interview was entirely pleas- ant and friendly. He made no criti- cisms or objection to my position. He made inquiries about the appli- eants for marshals in the western district, and about applicantsin east- ern district for mi land attorney. I told him what I knew. He made no reference to attorney in western district. Mr. Walker's name was not mentioned directly or indirectly by him orme.

MARSHAL. seph ( rville Shelby, a Kentuckian by birth, a Missourian by choice, a confederate and a dem- ocrat through honest conviction, anda corteous, upright gentleman by instinct and by habits, has for many years occupied a prominent and picturesque position in the southwest. His chivalric record en- deared him to those who loved the cause for which he fought, his lravery and honesty won the respect of adversaries, while his kindly dis- position and gracious manner made friends of allwho knew him. None who know General Jo Shelby has ap evil word te say of him, or har- bors toward him a hostile thought. General Shelby was born in Lex- ington, Ky., in 1831, and was educat- ed in the schools of that city. When 17 years old he became a clerk ina hardware store of Samuel Jackson, then a leading merchant and the father of Mrs. J. N. Nuckols of this city. United States Commissioner Nuckols and Gene:al Shelby were boys together. The whirligig of time brings them togetheragain. Itis in- thresting to note, in view of the rec- ord which General Shelby subse- quently made as a hard fighter and a man of iron, that he was shy and bashful to an extreme degree in those days. When ladies entered the store he would retire to a corner in eonfu- sion and insist upon someone else transacting business withthem. Gen- eral Shelby’s father died when he was very young, and his mother af terward mairied Beniamin Graiz, whose sis:er Rebecca was the origin- al of the heroine of Sir Walter Scott’s “Ivanhoe.” Through his mother’s second marriage Geu. Shelby acquir- eda connection, if not a relation- ship, witha family whose descendants ard collstera!l branches have beconre prominent in several soutiern states. During the year of talk and ill feel- ing that preceded the formal open- ing of the great war between north and south, little Waverly was one Missouri town in which nothing but southern sentiment existed, and when the fateful gun was fired at Sumpter, Lafayette county was one of the first to realize what was coming and prepared forit. General, then citizen Shelby wasin the field at once. He o.ganized, mounted and equipped a compeny of cavalry with extraordinary rapiditv and set out for Independence, which was in dan- ger of an aitack from federal troops stationed at Kansas City. That was the beginning of Gen. Shelby’s war experience. He had celebrated his 30th birthday only a few days before joining Gen. Price’sfo-ces in western Missouri. His first engagement was at Boonville wheze ihe confederate forces under Marmaduke were de- feated by the federals under Lyon. The merest sketch of Gen. Siielby’s military ca‘eer wou'd almost of ne- ceasity be a hisiorvy of the war in the West,certainlv of the warin Missouri. In every hard fought batile he was at the front, one of the firt to cha ge, one of the last to retreat. In 1862 he became a colonel of cavalrv;in Janu- ary, 1863, a colonel in command of a brigade, and in May 1864. a brigadier genera!. Every promotion was won by valor and by merit. His briiliant raids, his personal courage and cool- ness in action, his little habit of achieving v'ctory or something like it where defeat seemed inevitable,the devotion he inspired in his men, and his own devotion to the Confederate cause have been the subject of com- ment by every histosian. At the elose of the war when Gen- eral Kirby Smith, incommand of the department, was anxious to surren- der, believing that all hope was gone, ed no preference foranyone. I ly | General Shelby advocated further re- did my duty in giving him what in- . His protest was unavailing, formation I had about the applicants | however: and surrender was made. *-—_—_—-DEALERS IN Bradley and John Deere Stirr:ng Plows,Steel frame Lever Harrows Deere and Challenge highand iow wheel all steel frame Corn Plant- rower and drill ers with check- combined. e Deere Spring Trip Cultivators, Stalk Cutters, Grub Plows, Dise Riding Cultivators, Road Plows, New Departure Tongueless Cultivators, Farm Wagone, all kinds of Grass and Garden seeds, Hardware, Groceries, Stoves, Barb wire, Queensware, Buggies, Sprivog Wagons and Road Carts.

Bennett-Whee er Mercantile Co, General Shelby ihen gathered about him 600 men, Missourians for the most part, who expressed their will- ingness to follow him to death if need be. They had with them an ample supply of arms, ammu.ition and provender, and on June 2, 1865, set out from Corsicana, Tex., for Mexico. The men were well moun.- ed, well uniformed, and four years of active service, had tiained them into perfect condition After thedownfall of Maximillian in 1867 General Shelby returned to Missouri and setit'ed down again up- on his farm in Lafayetie county. Since then he has led a quiet and un- eventful life. The telegram from Chicago to the Rich Hill Review last week, statiny that Maggie Roberts had died in that city with small pox, was not correct. Ger relatives iu this city say she is alive and well Attempt at Suicide. It Might Have Been Prevented. [From the Boston Post.] While the walks in the Public Garden were crowded yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o’clock, people near the entrance gatet at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets were horrified to see a man suddenly plunge a kuife repeatedly into his throat and fall to he ground. While waiting for a conveyance an officer questioned the would-be suicide, who was bout 50 years of age, as to lis name, address, tnd reason for wishing to end his life, but he man steadfastly refused t-» give any infor- nation regarding himself. He was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital and surgical attendance given him. Although wesk from loss of blood it is probable he will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a liospital attendant got a little information from him. He said his name was Samuel U—-, and that he came some weeks ago from New Brunswick. The last few daye his head has felt queer, and he has been wan- dering aLout the city, not knowing which w: ‘turn. What impelled him to commit his rash act he was unable to say. The above is the familiar but terrible tory of the results of mentalderangement caused by overstrain of the nervous system. icople who have dizziness, headache or back- arhe, or who are troubled with melancholy or despondent feelings, are already well on the road which leads to insanity and suicide. “Dr. Miles Medical Co.: I cannot find language in which to express my apprecia- tion of the great benefit I have derived from the use of your Restorative Nervine.
